Some of the world's most famous and historically significant archaeological sites—from Egypt's great pyramids to Britain's enigmatic Stonehenge, from the temples of Chichén Itzá to the ruined fortress of Masada—are presented in this oversized album of striking aerial photographs (up to 23 1/2 x 16 1/2 inches). From the air, the full splendor of the buried city of Pompeii, the Acropolis in Athens, the temple complex at Luxor, the carved stone tombs of Petra, the jungle temple of Angkor Wat, the sinuous Great Wall of China, and the abandoned mountain city of Machu Picchu can be seen in their totality, emerging from the larger landscape.
